| 5:1 | Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. | |
5:2 | Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ
shall profit you nothing. |
|
5:3 | For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he
is a debtor to do the whole law. |
|
5:4 | Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are
justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. |
|
5:5 | For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness
by faith. |
|
5:6 | For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing,
nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. |
|
5:7 | Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey
the truth? |
|
5:8 | This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. |
|
5:9 | A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. |
|
5:10 | I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be
none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear
his judgment, whosoever he be. |
|
5:11 | And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet
suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. |
|
5:12 | I would they were even cut off which trouble you. |
|
5:13 | For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not
liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one
another. |
|
5:14 | For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. |
|
5:15 | But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be
not consumed one of another. |
|
5:16 | This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil
the lust of the flesh. |
|
5:17 | For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit
against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the
other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. |
|
5:18 | But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. |
|
5:19 | Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, |
|
5:20 | Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath,
strife, seditions, heresies, |
|
5:21 | Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of
the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time
past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the
kingdom of God. |
|
5:22 | But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, |
|
5:23 | Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. |
|
5:24 | And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the
affections and lusts. |
|
5:25 | If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. |
|
5:26 | Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another,
envying one another. |
